Racking Relocation Durham — Dismantle, Move & Reinstall
County Durham's shift from coal mining to modern logistics has brought new racking installations to the region — and relocation projects as sites continue to evolve.
What Racking Relocation Involves in Durham
A full racking relocation in Durham covers every stage of moving an installed racking system from one location to another. Our crews carry out a detailed pre-move survey, methodical dismantling and labelling of every frame, beam and accessory, palletising and protection for transport, road haulage on our own fleet, and a full SEMA-standard reinstallation at the destination site — followed by a PUWER completion certificate handover.
Save Up to 50% vs Buying New
Relocating existing racking in Durham is one of the highest-value decisions a warehouse operator can make. Reusing your existing components — frames, beams, mesh decks, pallet supports — typically delivers a 30–50% saving compared with specifying a new racking installation, with the added sustainability benefit of avoiding unnecessary steel manufacture.
Own Plant and Labour — No Subcontractors
Every job in Durham is delivered by Rackstor UK Ltd's directly-employed installers using our own scissor lifts, forklifts, MEWPs and HGV transport. No subcontracted labour, no agency crews and no hire-fleet surprises — just a single, accountable team from your first call to project handover.
SEMA Compliant Reinstallation
All racking we reinstall in Durham is set out and built to SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association) standards. Floor fixings, frame plumb, beam engagement, safety pins, row spacers and signage are all installed and checked in line with current UK guidance — protecting your people, your stock and your insurance position.
PUWER Certificate on Handover
Every relocation in Durham is signed off with a written PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) completion certificate, including load notices and inspection records. You receive everything required to demonstrate compliance to your insurer and HSE on day one of operation.
